A member of Jason Katims’ Friday Night Lights Repertory Company is headed back to NBC.

Katims has tapped Adrianne Palicki to join the cast of his new Peacock comedy About a Boy, TVLine has confirmed. She will play Dr. Samantha Lake, a love interest for David Walton’s longtime bachelor Will, in roughly seven episodes. Boy is set to bow on Feb. 21.

* Being Human‘s Sam Witwer is moonlighting on Grimm, TVLine has learned exclusively. He’ll play a tortured soul named Maximillian who is the main attraction at a carnival. With each performance, he is getting dangerously closer and closer to sacrificing the last of his humanity. Fun fact: Witwer is real-life buds with Grimm star David Giuntoli.

* ABC has renewed Wipeout for a seventh season — this time culminating in an end-of-season “Tournament of Champions.”

* Lifetime will launch its 20-episode resurrection of NBC castoff Betty White’s Off Their Rockers on Friday, Feb. 28 at 9pm, with two back-to-back episodes.

* ABC Family’s The Fosters this Monday hit series highs in total viewers (with 2.7 million of ’em) and in the 18-49, 18-34 and 12-34 demos.

* Transporter The Series is headed to U.S. soil via TNT. The cabler has acquired rights to air Season 1 of the movie franchise-spawning show beginning next fall. It stars Chris Vance (Rizzoli & Isles).

* HBO is steering clear of next week’s Super Bowl. The cabler announced that the Feb. 2 episodes of Girls and Looking will air one day earlier than usual, on Saturday, Feb. 1. from 10-11 pm, to avoid going up against The Big Game. True Detective, meanwhile, will be pre-empted altogether.
